  1. Unusual treatments

    enuf_already replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    In all fairness, I think most of us were asleep (unless we were stuck working nights on a weekend). When you posted, for those of us in the US, it was the middle of the night. It still is for my west...

  2. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    enuf_already replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    One state I'm licensed in shares this information giving the name (alias, if they have one), date of birth, and the city and state where the imposter resides. Funny thing, my friend kept telling me...

  3. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    enuf_already replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    This made me chuckle. I wish we'd had the Internet--or computers for that matter--when I was in school the first time. My search engine was the Dewey decimal system and my word processing program was...

  4. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    enuf_already replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    I want to be a neurosurgeon. A previous poster pointed out that medical school was so much harder than nursing school, so I'll just skip the school part. I'll go straight into an apprenticeship. I...

  5. Need an emotional support dog

    enuf_already replied to Katlove10's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You can't call the dog an emotional support dog just so you don't have to leave the dog at home when you are running errands. Having a dog--even a small dog, is a lot of responsibility when you work...

  6. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    enuf_already replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    ixchel went to school for 4 years--majored in party 😉. The nursing courses were all bogus. (Just kidding ixchel. Great

  8. Just got fired from my first real job as an lpn and need some advice

    enuf_already replied to Crystal-Wings's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I worked in pedi home care for years as an experienced critical care nurse and I will tell you that the job is not easy! There were days some of these kids scared me and I don't scare easily. Two...

  9. Certified Child Life Specialist?

    enuf_already replied to southerngirl92's topic in General Nursing

    I would check with your local children's hospital to see what the job prospects look like and what they require as far as training. Our child life specialists are valuable team members and we could...

  10. OMG - I broke a nail!

    enuf_already replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    You will probably need ongoing surgical care after being discharged from your week in the ICU! It sounds like a near death experience to

  11. Unplanned extubation while on orientation

    enuf_already replied to tictac's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm not sure how you think you should have automatically known what to do. Orientation is there for a reason. They don't expect you to know everything! Now you know what to do if this happens again....

  12. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    enuf_already replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the threads lately that have me shaking my head have me saying to myself, "Well, if Esme was here..." We miss you Esme. Things just aren't the same without you! Get

  13. Quit during orientation

    enuf_already replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I hate to burst your bubble Themostsupreme, but depending on what kind of job you secure after nursing school, you may be doing your tech job plus all of the nursing duties you think nurses do and...

  14. I need a passion...

    enuf_already replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your passion needs to be something outside of work. Not everyone is passionate about their job, but that does not mean you cannot do it well. I do not define myself nor attempt to fulfill...

  15. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    enuf_already replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But in they eyes of the law and many boards of nursing, the nursing assistant or MA who calls themselves a nurse is breaking the law. I had an MA answer the phone saying she was "the nurse." She...

  16. Cost of your RN degree??

    enuf_already replied to SML456's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but with that 9,000 years of experience you have, you have to figure in the current cost of living. I think you likely

    enuf_already replied to thesegotoeleven's topic in General Nursing

    Paper covered wall, limited outside communication, the place already smells of smoke so a new fire would likely not be detected right away, sick people who are not easily evacuated...this sounds like...

  20. Things you'll never forget from your nursing instructors?

    enuf_already replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    Fully agree, but certainly a quote none of us ever forgot...and made fun of for years. At the end of the day, when I checked my pockets, I could still hear that

  21. Things you'll never forget from your nursing instructors?

    enuf_already replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    The Dean of my nursing school some 37+ years ago on our first day said, "If you'll steal alcohol swabs, you'll steal drugs." While her point was honor and integrity, it always reminded me to check my...

  22. Average "Wait Time" For A Parent?

    enuf_already replied to jodys-girl's topic in School

    OP, while I don't work in a school, it may be the nature of your student population that affects how quickly someone can get there. For typical kids whose parents work, asking a neighbor to step in...

  23. This seems like Hipaa violation

    enuf_already replied to shabish's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If the hospital uses hospitalists only, as an admitted patient, I'd want to know my primary care MD knew I'd been hospitalized for a condition, especially if it was something they'd been treating. I...

  24. What makes a nursing contract binding & official?

    enuf_already replied to Kit.Kat's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I didn't find anywhere that you mentioned whether or not you clocked in and out or charted anything on a patient during the weeks before they said you actually started and they paid you for the 5...

  25. Threatened by patient

    enuf_already replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since I don't have any details of why the patient was there (and don't need any either), I'll play devil's advocate. Maybe the thought process of the charge nurse was that the patient was...
